〔 c h a p t e r thirty-one 〕❞
So after Gina showed up at Ricky's door with a hat she made for him, they went on their way to walk towards Ashlyn's.
Elanor would be lying if she said she wasn't weirded out by Gina, partly because of the fact she still think she stole her phone, and the other part of how close she became with Ricky.
She is happy Ricky apologized to Gina at homecoming, but at the same time she wishes he didn't cause of how close they became.
She crosses her arms infront of her chest as she trails besides Ricky who is laughing with Gina about god what, she hasn't exactly paid attention to the conversation, and seeing they had put no effort in trying to get her to join their conversation she doesn't even try to keep up with their talk.
She knows isn't jealous, she just doesn't trust Gina. Eleanor knows Gina wants to be Gabriella really bad.
"Right, Ellie?" She is awakened from her thoughts.
She looks up to see both of them looking at her.
Shit, what did they ask?
"Uh.." She stutters. "I'm sorry, I was thinking. What were you talking about?" Atleast that's not a lie.
Ricky furrows his eyebrows. "What we have been talking about ever since we left my house."
"Right..." Yeah, she has no clue.
"Hey," Ricky softens his voice, grabbing her hand and running his thumb over her knuckles. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." She puts on a smile, hoping it looks somehow convincing. "I was just thinking, that's all."
He scans her face, noticing she is lying but decides to not push for answers infront of gina and nods his head. "If you say so."
She expected him to let go of her hand, but instead his grip only tightens a little, gently pulling her closer to his side.
When they arrive at Ashlyn's house Ellie stops infront of the door. "Uh, you guys go ahead, my mom just texted me to call her. She's at my aunts and they wanna call for a minute."
Ricky lets go of her hand. "Okay, I'll be waiting inside for you."
He opens the door and let's Gina walk in first before he hesitates to walk in. Ricky turns around so he is facing her. "You sure you're okay?"
She nods her head. "Yep. just go ahead I meet you in a few."
He finally walks in and closes the door, causing Eleanor to let out a sigh as she drops her hand with her phone away from her ear as she pretended to be calling.
The brunette bites her lip, honestly suddenly she isn't all in for the party anymore.
It all is so much, she is so tired aswell, she just wants to curl up in her bed and sleep the whole day.
